4* Loyola-Chicago (16-10) over Missouri State (14-12)

CBB Crusher Series Alert...BDS

Missouri State (14-12) visits Chicago after winning three straight games, while Loyola (16-10) plays off a difficult loss to Bradley 61-54 this week.  The core focus is a battle first place in the Missouri Valley Conference. From the SU standpoint, we look for a rebound by Loyola on their home floor. Technically, the Bears show 16-38-1 ATS on Sunday's, while the Ramblers play 23-8-1 ATS in Sunday editions.  Inside the series, the home unit covers 3-1-1 ATS L5 with Loyola 4-1-1 ATS L6 meetings. Also, Loyola comes in 4-1 ATS off a SU loss, Missouri State 4-14 ATS in road assignments against .600+ home clubs.  Good Luck.

Note:

When there is no game analysis, we are usually over taxed from the research standpoint.  Commonly this occurs when we have over three games inside the daily handicap.  We have gone back to no overnight releases, choosing to attack the lines that have been bet into on the Strip illustrating bettors tendencies overall.  Thank you, and Good Luck, Brad Diamond Sports.

SEC NETWORK BEST BET...BDS

The Bulldogs have to have some regression after losing BB games to LSU (OT - 88-92) and Kentucky 67-71 Saturday. Now they set up almost TD choice over pesky Alabama.  In game #1 this season the Tide defeated MSU 83-79.  So, the Bulldogs do have same season revenge+ on the docket tonight.  However, based on their recent losses they might show up small early this encounter.   This figures tech wise with the Bulldogs come in 4-10 ATS in conference and 0-6 ATS L6.  On the other side of the ledger, 'Bama predicts out strong in the SEC with a 6-1 ATS record last seven and 8-3-1 ATS versus .600+ units.  No the Tide shows on a 3 game losing streak, Auburn, Baylor and Tenn..."bad" company.  We feel the strength side of the encounter emotionally overall (despite the site) falls to Alabama who is overdue for a break inside the box scores.  Good Luck.

4* (612) Kentucky over LSU – ESPN

Kentucky just survived last weekend at Mississippi State as coach Cal seemed to get all the big calls down the stretch.  Now the Wildcats (20-3) are at Rupp Arena where LSU has not won since 2009. LSU has put together a great season with a 19-4 SU record and 2nd place in the SEC.  Last weekend LSU was struggling with Auburn and came close to not converting the short price out in Vegas.  However, LSU shot a super 6-13 from deep in the 2nd half driving a SU & ATS.  Here the underdog has been prevalent in the recent series, but we see a change of venue tonight.  Remember, Kentucky is the #5 unit in the country and their power numbers are off the charts.  LSU, talented, but young has a tendency to go on negative scoring streaks which could bury them this evening. Technically, the ‘Cats have covered 8 straight and 7 straight in the SEC.  Also, they show a perfect 4-0 ATS against winning units with over a .600+ mark.  For our money, it’s the Kentucky Wildcats to win and cover.  Good Luck.

 (625)  5* Michigan over Rutgers

 BIG-10 POWER ANGLE…BDS

 Last week we used the Illini in a home upset of over valued Nebraska.  Here we catch 20-2 Michigan on the road again after losing last time out at Iowa 59-74.  Home standing Rutgers (11-10) looks to pull another upset at their Athletic Center tonight, after defeating Ohio State 76-62.  For the Knights HC Pikiell has done a good job using 11 players, while switching the rotation confusing the opposition at times.  Rutgers does have an edge on the boards and on the bench, but that’s it.  We believe The Blue will look to rebound after losing two games in conference within a month.  They still are smarting from the Iowa loss and we expect a near perfect effort, even on the road. Remember they hold the opposition to 57 points on average.  Michigan shows 8-1 ATS off a SU loss and 11-4 ATS, 34-16-1 ATS in conference.  Rutgers will play a strong first-half, but after intermission we see The Blue rolling.  In the power rankings Michigan held on to #2 despite Iowa, while Rutgers is holding on at #10 after beating Indiana, and then losing to OSU.  Good Luck.

4* South Carolina+ (617) over Kentucky

CBB LETDOWN THEORY APPLIED…BDS

 After defeating Florida, the Wildcats (18-3) have now vaulted into the #5 ranking nationally and surely HC John Calipari has the team and school rived up.  Kentucky has won 8 straight games and have been money earners in Vegas of late.  However, after facing the Gamecocks, the Wildcats face a murderous row of units, Mississippi State, LSU & of course Tennessee.  So, I would not discount the visitor who has been known to come out strong in the first-half.  Though SC does have issues from 3-ball land and will need a consistent showing to stay close, we catch some value with the current Vegas number.  Laying doubles this season the Wildcats are just 4-6 ATS.  The Gamecocks do play strong on the offensive boards so if they can stay close early, they maybe in the game late second half.  Remember Kentucky is ranked #158 nationally allowing 8.2 offensive boards per game.  Technically, the Wildcats have covered 6 straight overall and have had success against South Carolina in this building.  Although the Gamecocks are 11-10 SU this season, they show with a money earning 12-3-1 ATS against the SEC conference.  Good Luck.

CBB MAJOR CRUSHER SERIES...BDS

The Cajuns visit ULL this evening trying to escape their dysfunctional season at times, as noted by their 4-4 record the last eight times on the floor.  They are shooting almost 47% from the field, averaging almost 78 points per game this season. Defensively is where they are giving back almost 75+ points on average. Troy is 3-5 SU in road assignments L8 times out so they are in a negative situation being on the road tonight.  ULL hits their home court on a nice 6-2 mark SU in their gym.  Where they excel is offensively scoring 83.6 points per game, while shooting 45.5% overall.  In addition, they are scoring almost 36% from deep which is an advantage over Troy's output.  In the series, the Cajuns have won 9-of-10 achieving a 70% ATS record in those encounters.  No doubt Troy has had some good goes on the road this season, but their "resting" defense runs into these 5-6 minute wholes that can bury any college unit.  Troy is 1-6 ATS L7 in the series. With that in mind, play on the 'Cajuns this evening to take home the cash.

4* Delaware over Drexel

Delaware just blew another game this time it was to lowly Towson 76-69, and this is a 13-8 basketball team out of the competitive CAA.  What’s happening?  They can’t hold leads, and they shot 1-10 from three in the second half against Towson to ensure the club would be on the wrong side of the scoreboard.  The kids from Blue Hen territory better heed lessons learned after falling at home to 6-10 Navy and 3-11 Delaware State.  They have to come ready to play considering they lost 85-83 in Philadelphia last February to Drexel after blowing a 34-point lead.  That was largest comeback in NCAA history.  The major issue inside the game comes from a Dragon defense that has allowed 86.7 ppg. on the road.   We intuit that the Blue Hens should come in strong taking a lead at half-time and a 8-10 point win overall.  The home team is 5-1 ATS in the series with chalk 5-2 ATS.  Delaware has cashed 5-of-7 in this heated rivalry.  By the way, Drexel is 1-5 ATS versus a >.600+ basketball team.  Good Luck.

*4 (695) Eastern Illinois+ over Tennessee-Martin

Eastern Illinois out of the Ohio Valley goes to face a Big Sky opponent in Tennessee Martin.  The Panthers come in with an 11-8 record, 4-2 in conference.  They show after a come from behind win over Austin Peay Saturday.  Eastern shoots 42.7% from the field and almost 73 points per game.  Where the Panthers have problems because of their size is on the defensive end giving back almost 76 points per game, with the opposing shooters having a good go at 46% from the floor.  Tennessee Martin has just lost their 8th straight game and they are favorites tonight?  They have a 5-12 record and have not won in conference yet.  The Skyhawks just came out of 85-77 loss to Morehead, but it should be noted they were down by almost 20 early in the game. Tennessee-Martin shoots 76.8 points per game (43.6%).  Just as Eastern, the UTM has a very forgiving defense (82.6) allowing almost 50% from the field.  Granted UT-Martin plays in a tougher conference, but still the Panthers have covered 4 straight in the series.  UTM is a perfect 0-5 ATS on Thursday’s, while Eastern dribbles in with a super 10-3-1 ATS record against clubs with under a

CBB Play of the Day…BDS

 #7 Nevada (18-1) is at home versus slumping Colorado State (7-11) in MWC battle.  Home standing Wolf Pack looking to add to their list of dead bodies inside the conference must now handle CSU who just smashed by Utah State 87-72. The Pack come into action 41-2 SU in the building, but will need to cover a hefty number keep their fans happy.  Their major task is shutting down their center (Carvacho) which will cut down their second chance opportunities against a feisty but, limited foe.  In the series the Pack has covered 5-of-7 games.   The home team in the series is 5-1 ATS, and favorite 7-2 ATS in the overall series.  With a hot unit on their home floor Nevada wins and covers.  Good Luck.

4* LASALLE+ over Fordham 

CBB EASTERN EDGE SIDE...BDS

6-0 YESTERDAY...

Here we have 3-14 Explorers showing against 9-9 Fordham, as no doubt the Rams have more talent on floor, especially with LaSalle missing Jack Clark (10.6) for this evening.  No matter we're still going to use the visitor considering they are a majestic 16-5-1 ATS after three or more consecutive home games.  Also, we note LaSalle is 4-1-1 ATS L6 meetings.  The Rams show 8-17-1 in the A-10 and 1-6-1 ATS versus a unit with UNDER a .400 record.  TAKE THE POINTS.
